my mom told me if you never took a splinter out of your finger it would go into your bloodstream and pierce your heart and you would die.

The only way to get it out was with a firey hot needle, according to her.

somebody told me something like that when i was little, they said that if you got a needle or pin or spinter or something stuck in you it could go into your bloodstream and hit your spine and kill you.

that reminds me of those kids in school that said if they hit you in the nose in an upwards motion your nose would go into your brain and kill you.

My grandmother would make dresses for me and my sister. They were the same pattern, but Rebekah's was always a prettier fabric. I have no problem saying that I was jealous. Her memorial dresses were always better too. They came with cool hats.

my mom always said if we swallowed our gum it would stick to our guts forever or if we swallowed pits or seeds a tree would grow in our stomach.

I watched the big urban myth show on MTV and they told me it was a lie. Thank goodness for the educational experience that is MTV.
